Abstract: The no-sew upholstery system of the invention comprises a soft or semi-soft foam which is covered by fabric through a wrap and tuck process. The form incorporates an opening through an exterior surface. The fabric employed is wrapped around the form and its ends are tucked through the exterior opening. The form may also incorporate a pocket in the interior to provide additional area for accepting the fabric. Multiple fabric accents and devices for decoration and locking function may be selectively inserted into the opening. Because of the characteristics of the foam and the close-fit force exerted on the ends of fabric, the result is to provide a form which holds the fabric in place-yet, one which is easy to cover by the purchaser without the need for any sewing, gluing or stapling to give a customized look.

Abstract: Thermoplastic molding compositions which comprise an oxidized polyethylene have high abrasion resistance and permit a less severe reduction of elongation at break at the frequently unavoidable weld lines. The molding compositions have low static friction. They are therefore used in articles which have a tight fit but are nevertheless readily separable, and also for low-friction and wear-resistant articles which require to slide.

Abstract: Photographic silver-halide materials for producing negative images with ultrahard-gradation contrast, which contain a hydrazine compound and a contrast-boosting amino compound and/or phosphonium compound, demonstrate a marked tendency to form "black fog" which results in inadequate acutance. By adding 200 to 2500 mg per mol of silver of a polyvinyl lactam to the emulsion, the fog is inhibited and acutance is improved without reducing sensitivity. The invention can be used to produce images during reproduction in the pre-printing stage.
